TESTIMONIALS FROM
Fay’s PRoLIFIc currant is all that was claimed {
for it—as large as cherry currant, berries more uni-
form and stems longer and less acid. We think the
Fay’s will take the place of cherry and LaVersalles.
Ripens this season one week before the Red Dutch.
—[Rural New Yorker. |
WitHout hesitation, we say the Fay’s PROLIFIC |
CURRANTS we received were the finest currants ever |
seen in Syracuse.—[Farmer and Dairyman, Syra- |
cuse, N. Y.
From all we have seen of the Fay CURRANT it is |
,a great improvement on anything we have.—
[Chase Brothers, (New England Nurseries)
Rochester, N. Y.
Our Fay’s ProxiFic plants show greater vigor
than cherry or LaVersalles and weight of fruitis
sreatest on the Fay. All who have seen them ex- |
press great surprise at the Fay.—[H. E. Hooker
Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y.
I coNSIDER the Fay currant a decided advance |
upon any fruit of its class.—[Rev. R. A. Water- |
bury, Geneseo, N. Y.
WHEN 1 saw the Fay currant on the Fay Farm,
before any plants had been sold, I formed the |
opinion, which has not changed—that it could not |
be excelle&a—[T. B. Jenkins, Rochester, N. Y.
I CONSIDER Fay’s PRoLIFIc the best currant I |
ever saw.—[David Parker, Silver Creek, N. Y.
Fay’s currant fruited heavily with me this sea-
son, and was the admiration of all who saw it.—
[Mrs. A D. Topping, Bancroft, Mich. ‘
My Fays have made afine vigorous growth; from
the bunches borne this year it is less acid than any
other sort I have tested. Ishall want more plants
the coming season.—[J. G. Burrow, Fishkill, N.Y. |
I cAN say the Fay currant trees I had of you are |
very free growers.—[W. Warren, (Worten Gardens),
Isleworth, England.
Fay’s Protiric has shown evidence of being all
that has been claimed for it, and I am_ very much
pleased with it.—D. McHenry, Circleville, Ohio,
IN size and appearance Fay’s PROLIFIC surpasses
all my expectations, which were large—fruit not |
ripe yet.—[{S. E. Hall, Cherry Valley, Tl.
WE are very much pleased with the Fay currant.
—[Wm. Parry, Parry, N. J.
WE think Fay’s ProuiFic will be a great acquisi-
tion. Mr. Bronby, of Ophir, a careful small fruit
grower, says it promises well with him.—{E. B.
Silva, (Manager New Castle Fruit Growers’ Ass’n,)
New Castle, Cal.
I HAVE seen Fay’s PROLIFIC in bearing for several
years past; for quality and production it must
stand at the head of all currants.—[G. E. Ryckman,
(Lake Shore Greenhouses and Wine Cellars, Port- |
land, N. Y.
HIGH AUTHORITY:
THE Fay’s PrRouiFic bushes in our garden were
loaded with magnificent fruit, and their vigorous:
growth compared with other kinds was apparent to:’
all. —[American Garden.
Fay’s currant is fully equal to all you WAEE
claimed forit. Bunches so large they almost re-
semble Delaware grapes. We shall plant ten acres
of the Fays.—[G. H. & J. H. Hale, So. Glastonbury,
~
|; Conn,
WE are delighted with the fruiting of the Fay
currant. For amount and size it exceeds anything
else we have grown—quality as good as the best. It
cannot fail to become the most popular of all cur-
| rants.—_[The Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville,
| Ohio.
I FIND the Fay currant in every way satisfactory.
It fulfills all that was promised forit, which can
rarely be said of a new fruit.—[Dr. T. H. Hoskins,

vigorous and fruit entirely satisfactory.—[S. D.
Willard, Geneva, N. Y.
Fak 5 currant is healthy, a vigorous grower and
very productive, many of the bunches being 5%
inches long, the upper half-inch being bare, hence
easily picked. The fruit is somewhat larger than
| the cherry currant, holding its size well to end of
| bunch. Less acid than the cherry and fully twice
| as productive.—[J. B. Rogers, in Rural New-Yorker.

sour as the old varieties, and bunches longer. I
think it has not been over-praised.—[0. J. “Weeks,
West Webster, N. Y.

selling readily for from 4 to 6c. per quart more than
any other variety.—[Stickney & Canfield, (Commis-
_ sion merchants), Buffalo, N, Y.
TO MY FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS.
Y trade still continues to increase, my Fall sales of 1884 being almost double of that of
Fall of 1883. Thus it seems that customers are satisfied. I keep all vines in cellar
4 over winter with roots in fine sand, and this way of keeping grape vines, etc., is well
worth the inspection and consideration of those wishing vigorous, healthy, well-cared-for
vines. To those who have never dealt with me, I would like to send an order to show you
what kind of stock I am selling, the way it is packed and how it is graded. With nearly
every dealer having a standard of his own for grading or no standard at all, grading has
become almost a farce, and I assert that my No. 2 stock is better than that generally sold as
No. 1. If not overnice, it is very easy and simple to put No. 1 labels on No. 2 vines, and
there is a good deal of this kind of business being done. I am content with small margins
of profit on orders, and expect this, and also to give full, generous returns for your money, but
do not care for orders where the customer insists on equalizing my prices with dealers of
doubtful reputation, who have perhaps neither business reputation nor qualification, nor few of
the thousand and one expensive but essential conveniences and accommodations necessary to
carry on a really first-class business in business-like ways.

CARE: OF STOCK RECEIVED FROM ME.
Should the stock appear frosty on its arrival, do not unpack, but cover it up in a cool cellar
where the frost will come out very gradually. Remember it is not the freezing which hurts
the plants, but rapid thawing with exposure to light, heat or air.
As soon as the ground will permit ‘‘ heel them in” in some dry place not too cold in Winter
or warm in Spring or Autumn. The process of ‘‘ heeling in” is to dig a trench large enough
to hold the roots, then cover the roots with earth, and in winter the tops also of vines and
plants with straw or leaves.
VINES AND PLANTS AT WHOLESALE.— Parties desiring to plant largely, please
send list of what you want, and I will quote prices.
GRAPES.
Plant Grapes in rows eight feet apart and from six to eight feet apart in the row,
according to the variety being a strong or slow grower. Dig holes about ten inches deep and
large enough so the roots may be spread out naturally—without one root crossing another.
In dry days it is better not to have many holes dug ahead of the planting, as the earth will be
moister if freshly dug. Put the finest and best earth at bottom of hole and among the roots,
and the coarsest and poorest earth at top. While planting care must be taken that the roots
do not become dry. To prevent this it is customary to carry them about the field in a bucket
partly filled with water after roots have been shortened to ten or twelve inches in length and
tops cut back to two or three buds. Always give good cultivation, and the first Autumn cut
back to four or six buds and cover the vine with earth. Uncover in Spring, and after the
buds start leave only the two best buds. Let two canes grow the second year; they will
probably get to be some five or eight feet long ; if so, cut one of them back to three buds, and
the other to within four feet of the ground, to bear. This severe pruning in their early
youth, together with good culture, will give them such a good send-off that they will ever
after remember to bear you bountiful crops of the luscious fruit. When five or six years old,
from three to five canes may be left. Remember always to cut the old wood back to within
one foot of the ground, if possible, as it is the young wood only that bears fruit. Grape Vines
may be trained against buildings, fences, or on stakes, trellises, etc. Wire trellises, about
five feet high, are best for vineyards.

- STRAWBERRIES.
All varieties are good in the right place and under the proper circumstances. Soil, climate,
culture, market, etc., all have their influence and must be considered. There are some varieties
which do well most anywhere. If to be cultivated with horse labor, plant in rows three and one-
half to four feet apart and one foot in the row, but for hand culture, one by two feet will do. Keep
them free from weeds through the summer, and cover them in early winter with spent tanbark,
sawdust, potato tops, evergreen boughs, etc. Do not put it on thick enough to smother the plants,
but simply to protect them from sudden and severe changes of temperature and repeated freezing
and thawing. This will keep them from heaving through the winter, should the ground be of a
wettish nature ; it also makes them more fruitful, so that good paying crops may be grown of the
choice but less productive sorts. With very prolific sorts, like Wilson’s, etc., grown on very light
dry soils, this mulching is sometimes not desirable, as they are apt to set more fruit than they are
able to mature. Coarse mulch has to be removed in spring, but tine material may be left on to keep
the ground moist.
Bidwell (new)—As large as the Sharpless, more productive than Wilson and has few rivals.
Enormous bearer, of true strawberry flavor and propagates itself rapidly.
Big Bob (P)—One of the largest, a rank grower.
Capt. Jack—Very strong grower, very productive, needs strong, rich, moist ground to carry
crop on.
Chas. Downing—A favorite variety for home use and market. Every one growing straw-
berries should give it a trial.
Crescent Seedling (P)—Very productive, good size and quality, enormous grower and bearer.
Crystal City (P)—One of the very earliest, very vigorous and crops well, but berries rather
small, a fine variety for home but not for market.
Cumberland Triumph—aA beautiful fruit, large, size regular, good quality, productive,
light-red in color.
Early Canada—Similar to Wilson, but about two weeks earlier it is said.
James Vick—Vigorous, very firm, in productiveness equalled by no other variety, no white
tips or coxcombs.
Jersey Queen—Late, large, fine, vigorous, moderate bearer.
Kentucky—One of the latest and best of the late varieties, very desirable for home use and
home market.
Longfellow—Very large, late and firm. Should be in every garden.
Manchester (P)—New, and destined to be one of the most valuable. As compared with the
Wilson it is one and one-half times the size, of much better flavor, far more attractive, plant is
much larger and more vigorous, yield is one-half more, carries fruit higher from the ground, and
is fully as firm.
Mt. Vernon—Very strong grower, fruit very large, regular and uniform, flavor fine, mod-
erately firm, very late.
Old Iron Clad—Resembles Sharpless, rank grower, very productive.
Primo—Another splendid new variety destined to take a high position among fruit-growers for
market, as well as a delicious berry for home use, has an aromatic flavor like the wild strawberry.
Red Jacket—Bright red, early, large and very productive, splendid for home use but too soft
for market.
Sharpless—Doubtless the most celebrated variety and we think justly so. Fruit and foliage
ate immense, berries are irregular in shape. No one who plants strawberries should fail to give
these a trial.
Wilson—The popular market variety. The berry for the million on account of its reliability
and productiveness, It bears the same relation to other strawberries that the Concord does to
other grapes.
_Notz.—Those marked (P) are pistillate ‘“‘ have blossoms imperfect’’ and should have a row of staminate
variety within fifteen feet or they will produce imperfect blossoms and fruit.

Plant raspberries in rows six to seven feet apart and two and one-half to three feet apart in the
row, and from two to five inches deep, according to the nature of the soil. Prune canes back to
one and one-half or two feet from the ground, one year after planting. When new growth gets to
be about two feet high, the second season, pinch the tip ends off, and when the laterals have grown
a foot long, pinch again. This makes them stocky. After fruiting remove the old wood. In spring
following, prune to a round-headed bush, clipping off about one-third of the wood. In this way
fine crops of large fruit may be grown and the vigor of the bushes kept up. On sucker sorts, leave
only four or five canes to the hill, all others must be hoed off same as weeds. In small gardens the
plants may be planted three by four feet apart and the canes tied up to stakes. The canes should
not be pinched until three feet high.
BLACK “GAPS:
Doolittle—A standard variety, valuable and desirable for home use, market or drying.
Gregg—The largest and latest of all, very strong grower, valuable, hardy and profitable.
Mammoth Cluster—A standard variety in many localities, large and late but is now super-
seded by the Gregg.
Ohio—Very early and productive.
Shaffer’s Collossal (new)—Late, purple, said to be ‘‘ Largest in the World.”
Souhegan (new)—Extremely early, said to be ‘‘ Iron-clad.”
Tyler (new)—One of the earliest, promises well.
RED RASPBERRIES:
Brandywine—Good size and color, a fine market variety and firm.
Clark—Very large berries, of best quality for home use but too soft for market. Not quite hardy.
Crimson Beauty (new)—One of the earliest, promises well.
Cuthbert—The most popular new late variety, hardy, very large and productive. Bush a
strong grower, very desirable for home use and market.
Early Prolific—Similar to Philadelphia, but a week earlier, very vigorous and productive.
Franconia—Large size, productive, brings high price in market.
Hansell (new)—Firm, fair size, fine color, said to be the earliest raspberry known.
Herstine—Very large and productive, best quality, but too soft for distant markets.
Highland Hardy—One of the earliest, vigorous, productive, desirable for home use and market.
Lost Rubies (new)—Said by high authorities to be very vigorous and hardy. Luxuriant
grower, sprouting freely. Fruit very large, round, bright-red, very firm and fruit acid.
Marlborough (new)—Strong grower and very productive. Is believed to be earliest and best.
Philadelphia—A standard variety, enormously productive, berries of good size, very hardy,
very strong grower, does not sucker much.
Reliance—Seedling of and similar to Philadelphia, but berries are much larger and later,
valuable for home use or market.
Thwack—Very strong grower,productive,very firm, the most valuable for distant market, hardy.
Turner—Vigorous, productive, early and hardy.
CUR R AN ds:
Should be planted in rows five or six feet apart and three feet in the row, and some six inches
deep. In small gardens they may be put only three by four feet apart. They do not need much
pruning until they get to be five or six years old, when some of the oldest canes should be cut out
annually to keep the bushes open.
Black Naples—tThe best old black variety.
Cherry—Red. The largest of all except Fay’s Prolific. Wery popular in market and brings
several cents more per quart than any other old variety. Although others may say that Cherry and
La Versailles are one and the same, we have both varieties pure and distinct, each with its
peculiar characteristics.
FAY’S PROLIFIC—This new currant has greatly exceeded all expectations of the writer who
is the introducer, and who is often almost blamed by those of the trade who assert that we never
claimed nearly enough for it. It is so good and succeeds so well in so many localities that not only
the introducer but also the heirs of the originator have received quite a fortune from sales of the
plants. Our original claim and description was : ,
Color red. As compared with the Cherry Currant, ‘‘ Fay’s Prolific” is equal in size, better in
flavor, much less acid and five times as prolific, and from its peculiar stem less expensive to pick.
If the above description was too modest, it is at least enough to compel all other varieties of red
currants to be superseded by the Fay, which seems to be a fact. That spurious Fay plants have
been sold doubtless by the million is not the fault of the introducer.
La Versailles—Red, almost as large as Cherry and very prolific.
Lee’s Prolific—Black.
Red Dutch—Very productive, good quality.
White Dutch—Large, sweet, fine flavor.
White Grape—Fine quality, large and productive.
BAC K BERR TEs:
The blackberry is naturally a stronger bush than the raspberry, and should be planted in rows
eight feet apart and three feet in the row. They should also not be pinched until three and one-half
feet high, nor should they be so closely pruned in spring, otherwise their culture is the same. Where
land is scarce, they may be planted three by five feet apart and tied up to stakes.
Early Cluster (new)—Vigorous, said to be hardy. Is very productive, medium to large size
and of best quality.
Early Harvest (new)—Earliest, hardy, very prolific.
Kittatiny—Large, good, not quite hardy.
Snyder—Entirely hardy, very prolific, early, sweet, and can be relied on for a crop every year.
Taylor’s Prolific—Seems to be entirely hardy with us, fruit large, strong, very productive,
and good quality. :
Wilson’s Early—Very large, early and good, rather tender at the North.
Wilson, Jr. (new)—A seedling from Wilson, is larger, earlier, and more productive than
its parent.
GOOSE BERR LE Ss:
The culture of Gooseberries should be nearly the same as for Currants.
Downing’s—Large, best for home use and market, pale-green in color.
Houghton Seedling—Medium size, pale-red, quite sweet and enormously productive with us.
Smith’s Improved—Large, pale-yellow, excellent quality, moderately vigorous, very
productive.
GENERAL NURSERY STOCK.
Please remember that prices below are for goods boxed and packed, six or over of a kind at
dozen rates, fifty or over of a kind at one hundred rates.
HOW TO PLANT A TREE.
Cut off smoothly all bruised or damaged roots to the sound wood. Cut back the top and side
branches in like proportion. Cut clean all small branches of Standard trees and larger branches
to within two or three buds of the trunk. Dig holes large enough to admit of roots being spread
out naturally, then holding the tree upright in the hole put the best and finest earth among roots.
When hole is nearly filled put in a bucketful of water, then fill up the hole and press down with
foot. Plant neither too deep nor too shallow, but at depth tree stood in nursery. If exposed to
winds young trees should be staked and tied so they will not be chafed. Young trees should be
mulched for dry weather and grass or weeds should be kept clear and ground mellow. AIl manure
used should be on surface of ground, not among roots.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
This Catalogue is intended for those who desire really number one grades of vines, plants, etc.,
and at the same time at very low prices, lower than first-class stock can be sold for except by this
method.
Instead of making my Catalogue lengthy, I have made it a matter of considerable study
to have about as few pages as possible, and at the same time say all really necessary on the subject.
I hope that my friends will thus more easily find the information they desire. By making a few
pages, I enormously reduce cost of printing, etc., and thereby put more value in every package of
vines and plants sent to my customers, and I hope you will see this as strong a point asI do. I know
you like the worth of your money in stock and packing rather than in voluminous catalogues,
which customers surely pay for either in high prices for plants or in low grades of stock.

wood entirely in open air. We have no greenhouses and need none. Currants grown by forcing or
artificial heat are not fruit-bearing plants, but must be poor, feeble and sickly.

We note with surprise that several firms are offering to mail one year Grape Vines at 75 cents
postage for 100 one year vines, and two year vines at $1.00 postage for 100 vines, which would be
about the cost of postage on our culls or No. 3 vines. On weighing our vines, ready for mailing, we
find that 100 of our one-year No. 1 Grape Vines weigh on an average 1244 lbs., on which the postage
would be $2.00, and 100 of our two-year No. 1 vines weigh 1814 lbs., on which postage would be $2.9.
If our customers are willing to plant ‘“‘ cull” vines, we can generally furnish them at low prices.
